Chapter 11

Jane and Alec had found the Perfect spot. They weren't very close to the vampires they were supposed to keep under their surveillance, but were close enough to see their movements and who had joined them. They already had somebody that would do the rest.

"Have you understood master Aro's words?" Jane asked the blonde vampire in front of her.

Alexis didn't look convinced, but he knew that he couldn't back out now. He feared that he would be discovered, he had never supported his brother's madness, and knew that Artemis knew it very well.

"Yes, I understood everything"

"Very well, try and not forget them. You may come back in this hideout every time you have information to share with us, try not to hide anything from us, we will know If you do"

Alexis nodded. He wasn't sure if he wanted to betray his brother, even after all he had done to others, he included he still cared for him.

"You have no other choice" Alec spoke from behind him. It sounded like he had read his mind.

"I know, don't worry, I'll keep my word"

Jane and Alec shared a quick glance, and nodded to each other.

"Very well, it's time you go" Jane was getting impatient, she didn't want to disappoint Aro so she pressed for the vampire to leave as soon as possible. Alexis didn't say a word as he rushed out of the hideout, he wasn't very far from his brother and the Romanians. He was concentrated on finding the right words to sound convincing, it would not be an easy task making Artemis believe that he wanted to join him on his crazy idea,he had always opposed him and tried to make him see reason for years, to go to him claiming that he had changed his mind would be a difficult task.

He was nervous and it got worse as he saw his brother waiting for him at the entrance of his den.

"What brings you here dear brother?" Artemis had sensed him approaching, he knew his brother had a very good sensitive ability.

He was standing there with an arrogant smirk and his arms crossed on his chest. If he was surprised to see him there, he didn't show it. Hiding his emotions was another thing he was good in.

Alexis landed in front of him and stared at his brother right in the eyes as he always used to do when he wanted to talk about serious things.

"I want to talk to you"

The other snorted, shaking his head.

"I won't change my plans Alexis"

"That's not why I'm here" he answered as he got closer to the other.

"That's interesting" A voice that Alexis didn't know came from inside the house they used as hideout. It was in the middle of nothing in the German alps.

"I thought your brother was against this plan of ours"

Another one concluded the sentence. Alexis understood immediately who they were.

"I'm not anymore, Artemis listen to me, I understood what you were talking about, and why you want to destroy the Volturi"

Artemis looked at him with an intense expression.

"Really? And tell me, brother, what made you finally change your mind?"

"I know you were right about them. We shouldn't hide who we are to the world. I finally understood who they really are. They don't deserve the power they have, I've been there, in Volterra, I saw them in their pompous palace, acting like they ruled the world expecting us to follow their word and bend to their rule"

Artemis grinned as he put his hands on his brother's shoulders.

"I knew you would understand, finally brother, after all these years we can be on the same side and fight alongside"

"Can we trust you?" Asked Vladimir as Stefan studied the newly arrived vampire. They had heard everything the two had said. Artemis had been easily convinced, so it to them to keep him under check. They would make sure he was really there to fight with them. The Volturi were very sly after all, they hadn't survived all those years by following rules. They couldn't be completely sure that Alexis wasn't working for them. He had admitted himself, that he had been in Volterra.

"I'll do everything you want, to show you can trust me"

Artemis patted his brother's shoulder.

"I'm sure you will, you won't let me down, I'm sure of it"

Alexis nodded with a half smile. He felt bad betraying his brother like he was doing. But Artemis had abandoned his true self a lot of years ago. He had changed completely and Alexis was sure that he would never return the way he was. He had tried, for a very long time.

"I won't, trust me"

Artemis lead him inside the house, into a little living room. Alexis was surprised to see other vampires roaming around. Apparently they were all meeting there.

"It sure took you enough to finally approve of my ideas"

"Well, maybe I just needed to see things under another perspective"

Alexis sure hoped he wasn't too obvious. He hated to have to betray his brother, but he didn't want a war to happen, even if it looked like Artemis's intention was to start one.

Artemis sat down on a small sofa sighing and passing a hand through his hair.

"You know, I have been told they took Lyla"

Alexis nodded "Yes, I know."

"I sort of expected that. I knew Rose was going to break the promise she made to Lyla's brother to stay away"

The older brother get more comfy on his seat, as Alexis, still standing looked surprised.

"Rose, that's how Aro found out about her, why didn't I think about it!"

"It was just a matter of time that Aron would send somebody to get her"

" I have to admit I was more surprised to see who did the job"

"Really? Why now?"

Alexis stopped and turned to face his brother.

"Demetri was supposed to be dead"

"Oh that" Artemis wasn't surprised.

"You knew?" Alexis had believed him dead for all those years. He couldn't believe his brother hadn't told him.

"I found out after we moved to Lon don"

"You knew all these years, and you didn't say anything to me, or to-"

"You know better than me, Lyla wouldn't know the difference. Konstantin erased her memories, she doesn't have any idea of who he is to her" Artemis interrupted him.

"How long have you known?"

"For a very long time"

" What does that mean?"

Artemis was getting nervous. He knew his brother and Demetri were good friends, a lot of years ago, when all of them were human.

"Listen to me Alexis. Demetri is the main reason I started all of this, why I became what I am today, it's all thanks to him, so when the time comes,I'll destroy him, exactly like he did to me"

Alexis was stunned, his shocked expression didn't go unnoticed by his brother.

"Just think about it, who killed the only woman I ever loved?"

"You don't mean..." Why was he finding these things out now?

"I saw him. The night Anne died. He was the one to end her life. I saw him, standing there with a satisfied look in his eyes. He killed her to satisfy his thirst, like a wild animal does with his prey, there was nothing human in him anymore"

Alexis couldn't believe what he hearing. "That's why you want revenge. And why you decided to condemn both of us to this life, you are declaring war to the Volturi to destroy Demetri"

"Not just him. At least not anymore. I want them all dead. Then we can live the way we deserve. Free without hiding ourselves anymore."

Alexis stopped pacing. It wasn't the first time he had heard it.

Artemis got up again and patted him on the back.

"I'm glad you're here, I wouldn't have liked it to fight against you, little brother."

Alexis gave him a fake smile. He felt bad for betraying him, he was his brother after all. He still hoped that he would recognize his mistake and change his mind. Maybe the Volturi would have pity and decide to not destroy him.

"Here, follow me, I'll show you where you can put your stuff."

Alexis nodded and followed his brother, unaware that he was being kept under surveillance.

Vladimir and Stefan weren't fools, they both had lived for a long time and had gone through a lot, they had survived their great shares of battles, and had even hoped to finally challenge the Volturi when they had joined the Cullens. That time they had been sure to win. The Cullens had very powerful vampires on their side after all, plus the shape shifters their victory would have been easy.

When that resulted in nothing, they were angry and disappointed. What could you expect from vegetarian vampires after all? All that talk about love and family had sickened them.

They wanted revenge on them too.

"I think we should be very careful of that Alexis, he doesn't feel like a trusted person"

"Yes, we'll be very carefull, we have to watch what we say in front of him. Artemis might trust him"

"But we won't" and this time they were sure. They would destroy everyone that got on their path.
